If you changed the channel after the top ten picks in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, you may have missed that the Philadelphia Flyers made a trade and drafted another player. That other player is Morgan Frost from the Ontario Hockey League’s (OHL) Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. It would have been very easy for general […]

Following a few disappointing seasons, the Guelph Storm have turned this season into a success with their recent playoff berth. The past few years have been rough, missing the playoffs and sitting near the bottom of the standings. They’ve now proven that all hasn’t been wasted over the past couple years during the team’s rebuild. […]

I will begin this article by saying that trying to narrow one of the best prospect systems in hockey down to the top four is no easy task. Since joining the Philadelphia Flyers as general manager, Ron Hextall has made a point of drafting and growing talent. Through this approach he has stocked up on […]

A few weeks ago when the Philadelphia Flyers management and fans found out that star forward Wayne Simmonds was going to be out for a few weeks due to injury, panic began to set in. It’s difficult to lose a top-six forward at any time during the season but when it occurs in the stretch […]

It has been a treat to watch Isaac Ratcliffe play this season. He has had ups and downs but ultimately has played well for a middle-of-the-pack team. He has even gone as far as showing pure dominance in some games and taken the team on his shoulders. Not very often do you get to see […]

In a previous article about the Philadelphia Flyers’ trade deadline options, my suggested plan of action for general manager Ron Hextall was to stand pat and see what this team can do. The reasoning was that the Flyers have been at the top of the league and at the bottom this season so they weren’t […]

Mississauga-born Ryan Merkley has been an interesting player to watch throughout his short career in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He captained the Greater Toronto Hockey League’s (GTHL) Toronto Jr. Canadiens the year prior to being selected in the OHL draft. That season, he was named GTHL Player of the Year as a defenseman. It’s […]

What does it take to be an NHL captain and when exactly is a player ready to take on the responsibility? Are they in the long-term plans of the franchise, and are they old enough to handle the pressures that come along with the job? How do you know if it is going to work […]

The first half of the season is always interesting. You get to see the quick starters who pile up points right out of the gates and then begin to trail off 20 or so games in. Then you have the usual suspects who perform consistently each season and put up their normal amount of points. And […]

When the Philadelphia Flyers stepped up to the podium and selected six-foot-six defenseman Samuel Morin from the Rimouski Oceanic at 11th overall in 2013, there were some mixed reviews. Some people immediately thought Chris Pronger 2.0, while others were left scratching their heads. If you look at his makeup, standing nearly seven feet tall and […]

Alex Lyon was initially recalled by the Philadelphia Flyers back in early December to back up the team while goalie Michal Neuvirth was placed on injured reserve. However, during his short stint up in the NHL, he failed to see any ice time with the solid play of Brian Elliott and was later reassigned to […]

With the second overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers would like to select… Nolan Patrick. Remember that moment in a few years. Looking back on past drafts, top three picks are hit and miss as to whether they have an immediate effect or whether they will develop into the player […]

Despite a rocky start to the season which included a 10-game losing streak, the Philadelphia Flyers have set themselves up great for the second half. Currently sitting tied for the final wild-card spot, they have a one-point lead over the New York Rangers and New York Islanders with one game in hand over both, and […]
